Stop units from going back when ordered?

[blah900]

I am currently making a defense game. However, even though I put ignore guard positions and ordered the units to attack a certain point, after attacking a bit, the units return to where they spawned. Is there a way to fix this?

These what you called "excess units". Try removing them after their target is destroyed or create a 1 second periodic trigger in which it will order the units to prevent them from going back.

Whereas "Unit" is a unit variable:

• Set Unit = (Unit you want to hold position)
• Custom script: call SetUnitPosition(udg_Unit,GetUnitX(udg_Unit),GetUnitY(udg_Unit))

You're in good shape if you use that

Err let me rephrase my question.

Here is what I want to do.

Spawn a unit at Point A.

Make the units attack all the way to Point B.


However, here arises a problem.

The spawned unit, after reaching halfway by meeting some resistance, say a hero, after attacking a while, returns back to the spawn point A.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Could you post the trigger here?

All I put for the trigger was


Order unit issuing a Point

And I made a unit attack-move to that point.


After being blocked once by its own unit or after engaging in combat with no other enemies in sight, the unit either stops there or goes back to its spawn point.

First of all check that the units are not controlled by an AI which runs without you knowing.
Then change ownership to an unused player if they are neutral till now.
Last add the order to periodic trigger.

Gameplay Constants -> Creeps -> Guard Return Time make it really high
and they won't turn around unless ordered or time has run out since last order

maybe also the two other creep guard settings if that doesn't work... but it should.
